PMI is committed to advancing the science and practice of project management by supporting the work of academics through its research and education programs.

Project Management Curriculum

Designed “by faculty, for faculty,” the curriculum guidelines and teaching resources can be used to introduce a basic course or integrate project management topics and concepts into existing courses. The flexible guidelines and teaching materials can be customized to reflect your disciplinary focus, teaching approach, student profile, and course structure.

Research Funding Opportunities

Research Events

Encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration among scholars and practitioners, and disseminating new knowledge in project management, we offer educational and research-oriented opportunities at various conferences and regional workshops throughout the year.

Calls for Papers

PMI supports scholars who create and disseminate knowledge through new research in project management. We encourage the academic community to submit their work to Project Management Journal as well as PMI conferences and those of allied academic organizations.

Resources

The mission of the peer-reviewed Project Management Journal is to shape world thinking on the need for and impact of managing projects by publishing cutting-edge research to advance theory and evidence-based practice. PMJ embraces contributions both from within and beyond project management to augment and transform theory and practice, and welcomes articles on topics related to project, program and portfolio management, project-based organizations, project business and more.

Recognize and honor excellence in the conduct of academic research, the adoption or adaptation of research into practice, published books that advance knowledge in the field, and scholarly work that is respected by project management academic and practitioner communities.

PMI R.E.P.s are organizations that we have approved to offer training in project management and issue professional development units (PDUs) to meet the continuing education requirements needed by PMI credential holders.
